Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Accipitriformes > Accipitridae > Buteogallus > Buteogallus anthracinusButeogallus anthracinus (Common Black-Hawk; Common Black Hawk)Language: Spanish The common black-hawk (Buteogallus anthracinus) is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes the eagles, hawks, and Old World vultures. It formerly included the Cuban black-hawk (Buteogallus gundlachii) as a subspecies. The mangrove black hawk, traditionally considered a distinct species, is now generally considered a subspecies, B. a. subtilis, of the common black-hawk. |
